Connors balked at legal documents with a lot of fine print and always insisted that his contracts be kept to just three paragraphs. He chalks this up to a discovery as an adult of visual challenges in tracking words with both eyes, which he says cut down on his reading comprehension but didn’t affect his “perfect vision” on a tennis court. As regards his aversion to fine print, it’s interesting that Connors says that as a student at UCLA he contemplated becoming a lawyer if things didn’t work out for him in tennis.
